How to Make Easy Never Fail Breaded Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a shallow baking dish.
  3. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a separate small bowl.
  4. Dip each chicken breast in the melted butter (from step 3), then dredge thoroughly in breadcrumbs.
  5. Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish (from step 2).
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the chicken.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts and your oven. Start checking for doneness at the 25-minute mark.
